我国民事诉讼立法中的"程序工具主义"及其问题——对我国民事诉讼立法指导思想的反思

The "Procedure Instrumentalism" and Problems Thereof in Our Civil Procedure Legislation--Reflections on the Guiding Ideology of Our Civil Procedure Legislation

"程序工具主义"强调程序在保障实体法实施方面的作用和意义,否定程序本身具有的独立价值和品质,这种思想在中国的产生既具有特定的政治、经济务件,又具有相应的人文基础。以这种思想指导民事诉讼程序立法,导致了现行《民诉法》在程序设置上的诸多问题,我国《民诉法》在修改完善中应当摈弃这种指导思想和立法观念。

＂Procedure instrumentahsm＂, the development of which had both special political and ecomomic conditions and appropriate humane basis, stresses the effect on and meaning to the implementation of substantive law of procedure, and denies the independent value and quality of procedure. However, with this ideology guiding our civil procedure legislation , many problems have been caused in the establishment of the existing civil procedures. Therefore this ideology and legislative thought should be cast away.
